• Identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and reporting

• Partner with operational managers to provide financial insights and support decision-making

Ideally, you will have:

• A CA qualification or similar

• Relevant tertiary qualification in Accounting or Finance

• Previous experience in a Financial Accountant, Management Accountant or similar role

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Advanced Excel capability

• Experience with ERP systems (Dynamics 365 experience advantageous)

• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy

• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships across the business

• Opportunity to influence business performance and strategic decision-making

• Exposure to a complex manufacturing and distribution environment

• Supportive team culture with opportunities for growth and development
